The Great Tang: World Martial God
Chapter 39
The curtain has fallen on the step shooting course, and the losers leave angrily, while those who are promoted are filled with joy on their faces, sitting on the school field waiting for the next game.
Seeing Tang Hao walking slowly from the shooting range, Zhang Wu''s heart moved.
"Is this boy going to humiliate me?"
At that moment, his heart was cold, a sneer came up at the corners of his mouth, stared at Tang Hao who was getting closer and said.
"Boy, don''t be complacent. What''s the meaning of this static target? Next is my strength, you boy..."
Before he finished, Tang Hao passed by him, walked straight behind him and hung Zhang Wu again.
Zhang Wu''s face was livid and sat down angrily.
"Brother Tang, good arrows."
Tang Hao went straight behind Zhang Wu. The young king in white took the initiative to say hello to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao, who was supposed to say hello to Li Jing, looked at the boy in front of him.
I remember hearing song Ruoxin talk about the deeds of the contestants on my way here.
In this blood respected Dynasty, even the competition participants are no exception.
Three were born in poor families and seven in noble families.
One of them, Wang Fengbai, who is similar to her age and has always been dressed in white, began archery training at the age of 15. At the age of 18, he participated in martial arts for the first time. Archery was amazing, but he failed in the final military strategy and finally lost the election.
But a piece of cloth, clean and tidy clothes left a deep impression on everyone at that time.
Tang Hao looked at the boy in front of him, but he guessed seven or eight in his heart.
"Brother, isn''t it Wang Fengbai?"
The young man in white was slightly surprised and bowed his hand.
"It''s me."
At the same time, the two born in Hanmen had a sense of affinity and began to talk.
It happened that Wang Fengbai also had no friends in Chang''an city. For a time, they talked happily.
At this time, the grass target on the shooting range had been removed, and the busy soldiers began to prepare the subjects for the second competition.
Ride and shoot!
This riding and shooting is much more difficult than the first fixed-point shooting.
At the distance of 50 steps from the bull''s-eye, you can find the best position for aiming, and the final result is eliminated according to the number of rings.
Although the distance has been reduced, after all, it is archery on the bumpy horse''s back, which not only tests the archery accuracy of each contestant, but also the skill of driving the horse.
There are only three arrows in this competition. If an arrow falls on the horse''s back, it will also be recorded in the score at zero.
Everything is ready.
"Bang"
When the gong sounded, all the candidates stood up one after another.
The examiner began to roll call. This time, a group of ten people were admitted one by one.
Zhang Wu was placed in the first group, while Tang Hao was placed in the last group.
"Start."
Give an order.
Zhang Wu jumped up, sat steadily on the horse''s back, held a yellow birch bow, and ran into the shooting range from the entrance with his strong horse.
A sharp arrow rested on the bow string.
"Whoosh"
A sound broke through the air.
The arrow is like a meteor, steadily inserted on the red heart.
"Ten rings!"
There was a cry in the stands.
With this exclamation, everyone in the stands cheered one after another.
The examiner looked at the figure galloping on the field and smiled at Duan Zhixuan.
"Sure enough, he is a young talent. He was born in a martial arts family. This archery is really good."
Duan Zhixuan also looked at Zhang Wu, showing a look of satisfaction.
The second bull''s-eye was approaching as the horses galloped past.
Zhang Wu reached out and took out an arrow from the arrow bag behind him. He bent his bow and took an arrow.
A trot shoots the remaining two arrows.
But unlike the first arrow, one hit nine rings and the other hit eight rings.
Even so, it is not easy. The bumps on the horse''s back are not easy to determine the bull''s-eye, let alone under the condition of galloping.
Seeing the result, the whole audience cheered.
"You are the first young talent in the army. Childe Zhang is good at archery!"
"Childe Zhang''s performance is good this time. It is estimated that the first place is stable."
"Isn''t it? It''s great to be able to shoot. This number of rings is really not easy!"
Tang Hao''s mind at this time was not on these cheers. He stared at the direction of the bead curtain seat.
Vaguely, you can see the figure of a girl sitting in the bead curtain dignified and elegant.
"I don''t know who is sitting at this table. It must be someone in the imperial palace."
"Thanks to this, I got into the game smoothly."
Just distracted, Zhang Wu had crossed his side on the road. He went upstairs to eat with a pleased look on his face and raised his eyebrows.
"Boy, do you see clearly? This time it''s riding and shooting trained on the battlefield."
Zhang Wu dares to say this because he knows in his heart that the price of a good horse is hundreds of times higher than a bow. Tang Hao has learned good archery by touching a bow.
But this treasure horse must be unbearable for a poor family. Even the treasure horse who came to the school field was given by song Ruoxin not long ago.
In such a short time, you will definitely not practice good riding, let alone riding and shooting.
Wang Fengbai beside Tang Hao even guessed Tang Hao''s weakness in terms of the difficulty of riding and shooting.
"Brother Tang, it''s just a competition. The outcome is not important. Anyway, how about we close a game in Zuixian building after the game."
Tang Hao knew that this was Wang Fengbai''s reassuring and forthright way.
"OK! If I can win, I''ll pay for the wine. If I don''t get drunk, I won''t return."
"Don''t get drunk!"
They smiled at each other and continued to watch the game.
The next level of people can be seen at a glance.
Some riders who are better at riding can hit five rings very well. Some don''t even hit the target. Some even drop the arrow when taking an arrow from the horse''s back.
Wang Fengbai, who is in front of Tang Hao, is also doing well. There is a gap with Zhang Wu. It''s up to Tang Hao.
With a whistle from Tang Hao, Wu Zhui rushed like lightning. Tang Hao jumped on his horse and ran towards the entrance.
Everyone in the stands was surprised.
Even Li Wanqing on the stage couldn''t help standing up.
"This riding skill..."
